Average Number of Pistol or Rifle Boolits That 1 stick Of 1X4 Hollow Lube Can Lube

WELCOME !

You know, I've never really considered that question but it's a LOT.

Because I never run the lubersizer dry, it is a bit hard to say. The amount of lube placed in a lube groove of a single bullet is a tiny fraction of the weight of an entire 1 x 4 stick, so I'm going to guess the total is going to be well into the hundreds.

The bigger the boolit, the more it uses, but it still ain't much. I haven't run mine dry, when I feel like it's close to empty I'll put another 1/2 to 3/4 stick in, and a lot of times that's too much!

Based on my memory, which is suspect, 1200 comes to mind on a solid stick in a star using 38/9mm. On 45 acp swc I think it was about 750 to 800.

I have weighed several different bullets before and after lubing. The least was a 50SWC AT 500 bullets per stick. The most was the C358-180RF at 1500 bullets per stick.
